by Ivan Andreyevich Krylov (1769 - 1844)

Proxozhie i sobaka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Shli dva priyatelya vecherneyu poroj
I del`ny'j razgovor veli mezhdu soboj,
Kak vdrug iz podvorotni
Dvornyazhka tyavknula na nix;
Za nej drugaya, tam eshhe dve-tri, i vmig
So vsex dvorov Sobak sbezhalosya s polsotni.

Odin by'lo uzhe Proxozhij kamen` vzyal:
«I, polno, bratecz!» tut drugoj emu skazal:
«Sobak ty' ne ujmesh` ot layu,
Lish` pushhe vsyu razdraznish` stayu;
Pojdem vpered: ya ix naturu luchshe znayu».

I podlinno, proshli shagov desyatkov pyat`,
Sobaki nachali pomalu zatixat`,
I stalo, nakonecz, sovsem ix ne sly'xat`.
 
Zavistniki, na chto ni vzglyanut,
Pody'mut vechno laj;
A ty' sebe svoej dorogoyu stupaj:
Polayut, da otstanut.
